Chapter 394: Discovering the Clues
The two of them were noisy for a while before lying on the bed, because Nangong Nianxi's stomach bulged obviously, Ming Haoxuan was cautious, so he hugged her from behind, and soon the two fell asleep.
In the early morning of the second day, Nangong Nianxi woke up from Ming Haoxuan's side, and after getting up, Ming Haoxuan combed her with an ordinary woman's bun, only a hosta was inserted on her head, and she was wearing a white brocade skirt, embroidered with white plum blossoms on the skirt, and loosely tied the round waist with a white brocade belt. I turned around and looked at it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I walked out of the room with Ming Haoxuan.
When he arrived downstairs, Qin Yin was still dressed like a fairy, because Su Chenxi's father was deceased, he deliberately wore a plain coat this morning, changed his beautiful dress in the past, and changed into a plain dress but gave people a fresh and refined feeling, although they did not rush overnight, but the whereabouts of this white woman are unknown, and Su Peng's funeral cannot be delayed, so he hurried on the road after eating.
This time there was a night raid, Ming Haoxuan did not leave her side by an inch, but Nangong Nianxi was not, he heard him say goodbye to the capital, he was much more relieved, but everything should be careful.
There was nothing to say on the road on this day to rush to the Tiger Roaring Villa, Nangong Nianxi was helped off the carriage by Ming Hao Xuan, and looked up to see that the villa was not built in the bustling streets and alleys, but next to the bustling streets and alleys of the back of the open field, it was a four-way courtyard, and the tall courtyard gate building was written with the four big characters "Tiger Roaring Villa"
Although it is not as spacious as the area of Xiaofeng Villa, it is spacious and bright enough.
Because Su Zhenhong arrived two days first, the villa was full of white sails, Su Zhenhong had already set up a mourning hall in the front lobby, Su Peng was his father no matter how wrong he was, and he was filial piety, and he notified those old friends who had intersected with each other, and they all came to condolence when they got the letter.
But most of them are for the character of the White Peach Lady to save face. If it were for what Su Peng did this time, it is estimated that no one would come.
The deceased is the greatest, although Nangong Nianxi and they followed all the way, but the mourning hall was placed there, and it was also a kind of respect for the deceased to come and salute, and after the salute, Su Zhenhong sent someone to send them to the guest room of the Sanjin courtyard to rest.
Nangong Nianxi also saw that Su Chenxi's family didn't have an idea, and he wanted to help clean it up, and just as he was about to open his mouth to find someone to help him, he pressed the head and sewed filial piety clothes and hats for the relatives and friends who came to mourn, but he was stopped by Ming Haoxuan, and he snatched the job with a big bag, and Nangong Nianxi couldn't get a finger in it.
It was not easy to finish taking care of Su Peng's funeral, Ming Haoxuan had time to sit down with Su Zhenhong and have a good chat, usually this Su Peng was controlled by Bai Tao, this Tiger Roaring Villa was his own, and he could only do everything by nodding his head, and he couldn't do the big things controlled by these children and apprentices, if it weren't for Ming Haoxuan's help, everything to help with ideas, even Su Peng's future affairs might not be able to be done.
Su Zhenhong has been attached to Ming Haoxuan as a patriarch these days, and today he is sitting in the hall and talking about gratitude and the like, Nangong Nianxi is really worried, if this white woman's life is short and there is an accident, such a big Tiger Roaring Villa looks like it is going to decline, and now I can only pray that she is safe.
Ming Haoxuan also had the same worries, before sending someone to find the whereabouts of the White Woman was carried out secretly, but now with the commission of their brother and sister, they can find someone in the villa with great fanfare.
Su Zhenhong looked very worried, it has been half a month since his mother was locked up, where is this person being locked up, Nangong Nianxi looked at the anxious appearance of his brother and sister and persuaded: "Don't worry! It's useless to be anxious, you think about it, your father usually doesn't let you go into any or the rooms he frequents, or go out or something. ”
Su Chenxi muttered: "You can usually go anywhere at home, but my father's bedroom doesn't let people in, saying that he doesn't like others to touch his things." I remember one time, a little girl was severely taught by her father, saying that she broke her father's things when cleaning the room, and no one dared to go after that. ”
Nangong Nianxi listened and said: "Your father is really short-tempered, no wonder you see him like a mouse seeing a cat, so scared that no one dares to contradict him." Xixi! Sometimes I really wonder, who is your big grinning temperament with? Is it your mother? ”
Su Zhenhong shook his head when he heard this, and said: "My mother is introverted, but she loves us and doesn't spoil us, we grew up under the education of a strict family, and Xixi's temperament was spoiled by the four of us." But we are willing to spoil her, my father punishes us, my mother teaches us, Xixi always plays pistachios to make us happy, who doesn't like such a sensible sister. ”
"Brother! You and your brothers have loved me since I was a child, and I can make you turn pain into happiness, I can't ask for it. ”
Nangong Nianxi looked at Su Chenxi with suspicion, and teased with a smile: "Then you left us last time and got into trouble, it seems that you really made a lot of determination, you can't spare you if you don't shoot your father?" ”
When Su Chenxi heard her mention that she had strengthened Brother Qin again, her face couldn't hold back, and she flushed, but she still said: "Since I have made up my mind, even if I tell my father, it is better for him to beat me to death than to marry that Situ drunk, it's a big deal that the senior brothers said that I can't marry in the future, and they will raise me until I am old." ”
Qin Yin was not silent, and answered: "Dead girl, you try!" What's the matter with me and them? ”
"Brother Qin! I didn't mean that, didn't I do it at that time to resist my father's refusal to marry? At that time, I really couldn't think of a way to do it. ”
"Qin Yin! My sister hasn't married you yet? How can I reprimand my sister in front of my eldest brother? ”
"That's it! If you don't care about me, my brother will raise me? After speaking, he looked at Qin Yin with provocative eyes.
Qin Yin sat there and said in his heart, this is when he arrives at someone's house, what do you care about with others, and she can't talk about that girl, so she can only sit there and sulk by herself.
At this time, the searchers all came back, and they reported that no one was found, Su Chenxi said with a crying voice: "It's been half a month, and my mother doesn't know if she has eaten, whether she has been beaten, and her mother ......!" ”
After speaking, he was about to pounce on Nangong Nianxi for comfort, but Ming Haoxuan immediately held her Nangong Nianxi in his arms and warned: "Don't come here!" If you want to comfort, go to your big brother Qin! ”
Qin Yin found his sense of existence at this time, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her: "Xixi, don't worry, now that we have time, let's concentrate on finding our aunt, don't worry." ”
Su Chenxi listened with tears in her eyes, nodded silently, Nangong Nian said in her heart, this Su Peng doesn't move around much on weekdays, so he takes a fancy to his bedroom, and there must be some secret passage there that has not been discovered.
Ming Haoxuan also doesn't believe in evil, after looking for so many days, he can't even find a big living person, and his face is getting worse and worse, so it's not a way to be anxious in his heart, it's better for everyone to act together, there is a lot of power.
And everyone said their thoughts, and everyone also meant the same, so everyone joined the search team in twos and threes.
Ming Haoxuan took Nangong Nianxi and walked slowly in the courtyard, followed Su Peng's bedroom and walked in, there were also people in the room looking for the mechanism inch by inch, even the bed board was turned upside down, and there was nothing suspicious.
Nangong Nianxi sat at the table and looked around, what kind of paintings are usually written in novels, behind bookshelves, vases and bed boards, but there is no here, where will it be? If there was a secret passage in the place where the husband and wife often slept, it would definitely be discovered over the years, or the White Woman would have known that there was such a secret passage and concealed it for him.
Nangong Nianxi got up suspiciously and walked around the room several times, but there was no gain, she sat down again, twisted her neck a few times up and down, left and right, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw the tassel hanging above the bed net, very curious.
The bed is bollard at the four corners and has a fence behind the sides of the bed. The upper end is equipped with a horizontal frieze board on all sides, there is a cover on the top, and the gauze tent is decorated all around, the gauze tent is a typical shelf bed, which is hooked up with a silver tent, and three yellow tassels hang down on the top, which is the place that makes Nangong Nian puzzling. Usually the bed tent of the husband and wife has two tassels to decorate, the meaning of good things in pairs, what is the importance of the three.
The more he looked, the more he could arouse her attention, and his heart was suddenly excited, so he simply stood up to confirm his guess, Ming Haoxuan noticed Nangong Nianxi's abnormal movement, and also came to his side, following her gaze to stay on the tassel, he saw one tassel on one side and two on the other side of the bed tent, if it was usual, he would definitely think that it was a drop, who would care about this, he suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped her from moving forward, and said: "Xi'er!" You come first, I'll come! ”
Nangong Nianxi knew that he was not grabbing credit with himself, but that the general secret passages were set up with mechanisms, he was afraid that he would be in danger, Nangong Nianxi still reminded: "You have to be careful!" ”
Nangong Nianxi ordered people to call everyone over, and this should make a big discovery. After Ming Haoxuan saw everyone coming in, he boldly pulled a one that seemed to be a different color from the other two, and after dragging it, he immediately retreated to protect Nangong Nianxi in his arms.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the bed, and there was no movement at first, Nangong Nianxi said in his heart, there was no movement at all, is this really just a tassel dropping?
But slowly, she became excited, because she found that the bed facing everyone was slowly moving a lot, silently as if a ghost was drifting.
Waiting quietly, the room was silent, and finally saw that the bed was not moving, only to look down and see a boxy black hole directly below, with steps to the west, but it was so dark that I couldn't see the scene inside.
Su Chenxi was about to go down excitedly, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Brother! Mother's Kiss is down there! It's definitely down there! ”
Su Zhenhong listened, and didn't let go of this reckless sister, and pushed her to Qin Yin's side and said: "You look, my mother is also my mother, I don't know what danger there is below, I'll go!" Then he turned around and walked down the cave.
